Is there any reason a circuit fed in t&e, protected by an RCBO,  can not be clipped to a accessible surface feeding a socket

Parents
  • In general, no, nothing prohibits surface clipped twin with earth to a socket outlet or for some other purpose.

    There might be a prohibition under certain circumstances, for example if the cable exposed to undue risk of damage.

    There might also be a CONTRACTUAL prohibition, if for example the client or the consultant or architect says “no surface wiring” or even “no twin with earth” then this instruction must be respected.
